If you've recently placed an order through Allchinabuy's reverse taobao service, you might encounter an "Orientdig parcel wait to pay" status. This temporary hold occurs when your purchased items arrive at Allchinabuy's consolidation warehouse but require additional payment processing before international shipping.
Why Does This Payment Delay Happen?
The wait-to-pay status typically appears for three reasons: 1) Your initial deposit didn't cover final shipping costs 2) The warehouse needs to verify product dimensions/weight 3) Additional customs documentation is required. Allchinabuy's system automatically calculates these variables after receiving your packages.
How to Complete Your Payment
Log into your Allchinabuy account and navigate to "My Parcels." Click the pending payment notification, review the updated shipping fees (which may differ from estimates due to actual package weight), and complete payment via supported methods including PayPal or international credit cards. Always double-check your shipping address during this step.
Pro Tips for Faster Processing
1. Enable SMS/email notifications for real-time updates
2. Pre-authorize a 10-15% buffer above estimated costs
3. Consolidate multiple purchases to reduce per-item shipping fees
4. Contact customer support if the status persists beyond 48 hours
Understanding this process helps ensure your Taobao, Weidian, or 1688 purchases ship internationally without unnecessary delays. Most parcels transition from "wait to pay" to shipped within 1-3 business days after payment confirmation.
